it follows, the first four stages of Anapanasati read as follows:
[1] Breathing in long, he discerns, 'I am breathing in long'; or breathing out long, he discerns, 'I am breathing out long.'
[2] Or breathing in short, he discerns, 'I am breathing in short'; or breathing out short, he discerns, 'I am breathing out short.'
[3] He trains himself, 'I will breathe in
experiencing all bodies
.' He trains himself, 'I will breathe out experiencing all bodies.'
[4] He trains himself, 'I will breathe in
calming the body fabricator
.' He trains himself, 'I will breathe out calming the body fabricator.'
[5] He trains himself, 'I will breathe in experiencing rapture.' He trains himself, 'I will breathe out experiencing rapture.'
[6] He trains himself, 'I will breathe in experiencing pleasure.' He trains himself, 'I will breathe out experiencing pleasure.'
[7] He trains himself, 'I will breathe in
experiencing the mind fabricator
.' He trains himself, 'I will breathe out experiencing the mind fabricator.'
[8] He trains himself, 'I will breathe in
calming the mind fabricator
